The Mass Effect 3 demo is now available for all on the Xbox 360 with the PlayStation 3 demo coming a little later today, but did you play as a female Shepard in Mass Effect 2 and which love-line did you pursue? Someone went and managed to take their love in a… different way to the norm.

The Mass Effect 3 demo kicks off with the devastating, all-out attack on Earth by an ancient alien race known as the Reapers.
It also includes another thrilling single player mission from later in the game. Players will be able to choose the name, gender and appearance of their Commander Shepard.
These initial choices along with choosing Shepard’s background cause the game to re-write itself, ensuring the player knows everything that happened in previous games, and can hit the ground running.
Additionally, Mass Effect 3 allows players three different ways to experience the epic battle for Earth: “Action” allows players to focus mainly on combat, giving them the opportunity to pre-set the tone of decisions made during the interactive cinematic scenes; “Story” focuses more on the conversations and scales down the difficulty of the action; and “Role Playing” presents the classic Mass Effect experience which blends both challenging, intense action with rich, interactive storytelling where the choices lie with each player.
All settings can be adjusted throughout the game, and all are available in the demo. Mass Effect 3 will also be one of the first pre-launch demos to support full voice recognition functionality on Kinect for Xbox 360.
You make it sound so sordid. Not everyone is straight
Noo, not sordid at all, I think it’s great that developers are giving gamers the chance to have such relationships. In fact, I just married Mjoll the Lioness in Skyrim with my female character, not for perverse reasons, but because she’s also my follower! 😀
